St. Martin School Board clear cut
Seems like robbery. 450 acres clear cut for $98k.http://basinkeeper.org/SchoolBoardLogging.htm

Don't even get me started on this...
I'm a SMP resident, born & raised. I have a letter in to Teche news also. I could see if it was a gold mine where they were getting a million or so and could truly change the education system for the better...it'll basically pay the electric bill for a week. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Charles m Maraist jr. |
My dad was on the board for 8 years from 96-04. He ran basically to oust the corrupt superintendent. He took 8 years of board pay put it into a scholarship and gave it away. But he is believer in term limits and didn't run after '04.
The SMP school board budget is roughly 6 million per month. Gives you an idea of how much this money will actually help a kids education.... very sad. |
That's a brother in law deal for sure.

Wow, that's crazy, 450 scres for $98,000. Why not sell it to someone who's not going to cut it down.

So has it been cut and harvested yet?

My gripe is that they act like its a renewable resource. Timber can be, however bald cypress in the atchafalaya is not. Just look at Henderson for evidence. That was logged 100 years ago. if it was a pine plantation id have no problem, or if they were getting a kings ransom(millions) and could actually have a positive affect on the schools I'd have no problem.

Trees are safe just heard that DNR has bought the timber rights for $60k but allows the school board to keep mineral rights.
Buncha treehuggers on here:rotfl: Y'all think about this next time you go to buy cypress mulch for your flowerbeds or anything cypress = this is where it comes from:eek: :work: |
